The blood supply of pathologic parathyroid glands and the relation between parathyroid hormone secretion and parathyroid blood perfusion was studied during surgery for hyperparathyroidism. Blood flow in 39 single adenomas and 20 glands classified as primary or secondary hyperplasia were studied intraoperatively with laser Doppler flowmetry. The ipsilateral inferior thyroid artery was occluded during continuous flowmetry recording, which resulted in a 40% reduction of parathyroid blood flow in both groups. In 12 patients with single adenomas, intact parathormone (iPTH) was measured intraoperatively before and during occlusion of the ipsilateral inferior thyroid artery and after extirpation of the adenoma. During occlusion the iPTH levels were mainly unchanged despite blood flow reduction of up to 80%. After removal of the adenoma the iPTH normalized within 15 minutes. In a control group of eight single adenomas, iPTH was measured similarly without vascular occlusion, demonstrating comparable iPTH levels. This study demonstrates similar routes of vascularization for single adenomas and hyperplastic glands, as was earlier seen for normal parathyroid glands. The increased parathyroid hormone secretion from single adenomas appears to remain mainly unchanged during significant blood flow reduction.
